3-4 I/O Circuits
3-3-2 General-purpose output (DO0 to DO12)
These general-purpose outputs are available to users for freely controlling on/off operation in a pro-
gram.
These outputs are used in combination with the controller's internal 24V power supply and an exter-
nal 24V power supply, to drive loads such as solenoid valves and LED lamps. These outputs, of
course, can be directly connected to a PLC input circuit.
All general-purpose outputs are reset (turned off) when the DRCX controller is turned on or the
program is reset.
* When PRM2 ("Operation at return-to-origin complete" parameter) is set to 1 or 3, DO5 does
not turn off even if the program is reset. Similarly, when PRM21 ("Servo status output" param-
eter) is set to 1, DO7 does not turn off even if the program is reset.
3-4 I/O Circuits
This section provides the DRCX controller I/O circuit specifications and examples of how the I/O
circuits should be connected. Refer to these specifications and diagrams when connecting to external
equipment such as a PLC.
